I had one of these pop out of a Thick-shelled Clam I harvested from a Murloc in the Wetlands. 27 total clams, 1 Small Lustrous Pearl, and 1 Iridescent Pearl.....and of course 27 Tangy Clam Meat.

These don't have a bad chance of dropping off of the pirates and Theremore mobs in the Barrens.

Comment by MedeaMelana

Good place to farm these is the Merchant Coast south of Ratchet. Just did one run and ended up with 6 pearls, some greens and some leatherworking recipes.

Comment by Necrokarp

I find it funny that the Ironforge Guard has the highest drop rate on this. (8%)

Comment by neogramps

These drop from http://www.wowhead.com/?item=5523 - these can be farmed from all crabs and murlocs on the coast of darkshore - I got 6 pearls from 52 clams - not too bad since the clam meat and crawler claws are worth some gold too for cooking skillups.

Comment by Heatblast97

I did farm at Westfalls coast with 100 murlocs and 300 crabs, and I can say. "DON´T DO THAT!". I didn´t got a single pearl. I did get a small amount of green things maybe 15 and i did get about 50s for junk. And a lot of cooking supplies, about 35 points i guess. But not a single pearl! I guess they have changed the rarity of it but that was just ridiculous! Next into one hour and no pearl!

My point: Don´t hunt Small Lustrous Pearl at Westfalls coast!

Comment by Kibaikasu

There's gotta be an easier way to get these things! I went through 110 clams and I only got 4 Pearls... that's an average of one every 30 clams!

Comment by Eleora

These used to drop regularly from Small Barnacled Clams. Used to be 1-2 in 10. However, recently the drop rate seems to have altered severely. I looted 73 clams a few weeks ago, during a westfall run, without a single pearl dropping.

If you look at the contained in stats, it no longer lists the small barnacled clams as containers.

Comment by jepo2

Lol one of these just dropped from a great goretusk... get it?

Comment by Sindell

Kill the turtles at the oasis outside wailing caverns and you'll get a good amount of these.

Just had great luck gathering small barnacled clams and thick-shelled clams in the Zoram strand in Ashenvale. Gathered just over a stack of each in about an hour. 2 pearls out of 22 small barnacled clams and 2 out of 23 thick-shelled clams.

Comment by imNova

I spent a whole day trying to get these from AH and similar, until someone told me they could be collected in Ashenvale, so i vent there. Suprisingly, at The Zoram Strand north of Ashenvale, i killed some Wrathtail Sorcerers, and got two within 5 minutes. I reccomend this if you want the pearls fast. You get the pearls in clams from the sorcerers. Goodluck!

This is for Horde chars - as stated before, these drop from Small Barnacled Clam. I read the comments here before trying to farm them.

I first went to the Merchant Coast south of Ratchet. Did 2 runs - got zero clams.

Next, went to the lake south of the Wailing Caverns and farmed the turtles. Must have done about 10-15 runs. The clams drop from about 1 in every 3. But no pearls.

Then, went to the Zoram Strand in Ashenvale. Small Barnacled Clams and Thick-Shelled Clams drop off the naga here and both have a chance of having a pearl inside. Did one run up the coastline (because at this stage, I was mostly sick of farming). Again, the clams dropped from about 1 in every 3. Again, no pearls.

The best place to farm these, if you're Horde (there's a lvl 90 guard outside the entrance), is Spitescale Cavern on the northern most island of the Echo Isles (Troll starting area) in Durotar. The drop rate of the Small Barnacled Clams from the naga here is about 80% and they respawn quickly. After about 50-60 clams, I had 5 small lustrous pearls.

tl;dr if you're Horde head to the northern most island of the Echo Isles in Durotar and farm naga in the cave to get Small Barnacled Clam which have a chance to drop the pearl.

I have been unsuccessful in getting ANY pearls (or clams for that matter) from murlocs and/or crabs along the shores of Darkshore. TO ASHENVALE! (hopefully I'll have better luck finding them from the Naga!).

Comment by reevenge

I needed these for moonsoul crown. Best place to farm is shore by ruins of south shore all the way to dun garok. Kill all naga on the shore, you will end up with 17 clam shells. You will get one pearl for every 17 clam shells. I made two passes and received two small lustrous pearls. Hope this helps.

Comment by Kozzie

Farmed just outside of Wailing Caverns and the Merchant Coast - the drop rates on these are abysmal - farmed for 1 hour and got 2 Small Lustrous Pearls - trying other places where Murlocs are at - also had Potion of Treasure Finding on - didn't help - pathetic drop rate.

Comment by ClearlyConfused

I can confirm as of Patch 5.1.0, the northern isle of the Echo Isles is the best place to farm Small Lustrous Pearls. The naga there spawn VERY fast and you don't need to be horde (playing Alliance right now). However; Alliance players beware: Although you cannot be honor killed (because you're in a starting zone) Spitescale Cavern has a level 95 elite sitting outside. So you are going to have to bite the bullet and get killed to reap the benefits of farming continuously in a circle. 5 minutes of farming and I've already picked up 24 clams and 5 pearls.

There is another cave aswell in blasted lands. Right on the red reaches. I farmed last night between my ques for battle grounds. Stopped at 200 clams maybe an hour and half of actually farming. Now you can either stay on the reaches and kill groups of 2-6 or go in the cave. There is a quest to take you into the cave so I stayed outside. The clams that drop btw are big mouth clam off bloodwash enemy's. Couple cool things about this spot. 1. You get tons of runecloth to sell or make as you please, I had 18 stacks after 200. 2. Spawn rates are very fast, due to it being a questing area. 3. Most ally or horde won't bother to come hank you cause its over the hill from the big portal. 4. You get quest items to turn in for a junk bag, also a rare spawns on an alter, she gives you a blue won to get a blue bag, chance of epic items, easy transmog money. n the time I was there she spawned twice. 5. Far as pearls I got 4 golden pearls 10 black pearls 4 iridescent pearls and 5 small lustrous pearls (some math: 200 clams/23 pearls= 8.695 per kill(average drop rate in that area on the enemy's your killing is 62%(think the coin flippers are higher then wow head says but none the less the average is 62% not counting the rare which is low but who cares about her till she's spawns: 200 clams/.62 (are % to decimal)=322.58 kills. Now the average of kills per pearl is 322.58kills/23 pearls= 14.02 kills per pearl.) (Thank you tudogs for the help). So many different pearls instead of one. Far as drop rates go tidal strider are the best for the clam, but there's a quest for them there, plus very few of them. Also there's some in azshara n swamp of sorrows but again very few. Best place is blasted lands. Good money to be made in this spot! Happy faimng!

Echo isles, high dropchance: Just opened 73 small clams and got 3 pearls.

took a run from ratchet to northwatch hold, killing everything, got about 3 stacks of linen cloth and some greens, But no pearls.

Comment by niffboy

Just in case there is some confusion, these still drop from Small Barnacled Clam. As some others have said, the Spitescale Cavern in Echo Isles is a really good, close, location for Horde players to grind. As stated, Alliance can stealth in or bite the bullet with the 95+ outside and farm as well.

I'm not a mathlete so I'll just drop basic numbers. I started my timer and farmed for 1 hour. Small Barnacled Clam dropped off about every 3rd Naga and there were never a shortage to kill. In hindsight, I should have taken my Druid for faster moving inside the cave, but I did this on my DK. Felt like I was moving in molasses by comparison. Anyway, after 1 hour, I had 274 clams and got 14 Small Lustrous Pearl.

Some may see this is good, some bad, I think it's abysmal myself seeing as how I seem to remember tossing these by the shovel full from my bags back in the day. Oh well.

Hope this helps some people make a decision on if it's worth it or not.
